Leaving Swapshop Servers for good (Sadly)
« on: April 24, 2018, 03:11:31 PM »
I've been playing on Swapshop servers since 2014. I frequent 06, 31, and especially 08. I've met plenty of awesome people, had good times, even loving this server so much as to apply for admin. But the only problem I've ever had with this server has become such a thorn in my side I cant really see myself being here anymore. Why do you guys even cared what people name themselves? Its not like I'm gonna make my name "kill all ni**ers" or anything. But I've had to change my name for this server several times. And recently, I've had admins telling me to change my name again. I had a few admins just change my name in game and be done with it. Which I'm not opposed to, but the problem arises when an admin enters the server (not gonna name names. I know they weren't specifically coming after me or anything) and accuses me of changing their renames (which reset upon the renamed person leaving the server) and asking me to change my name for the 4th time. I love you guys, I love the servers, but you must be fucking autists if you think I'm gonna change my name AGAIN for you.

Sorry to hear that you've spent so much in our servers, if you are true with your words then I wish you best of luck, but I do have one recommendation/thought. Why not just edit your name so they don't even have to change it.

Also, admins are supposed to ask you first to change it yourself before doing it themselves if you do not comply, not change it on their own will.

We thank you for voicing your opinion about your experiences on our servers, however I would like to explain the actions of our Administrators to help clear up some confusion. I understand that changing your name often can cause problems, mostly for those on your friends list. Now with having to change your name 4 times at time of writing this post, I understand your frustration, but when looking at your name history(See attached) it would appear your previous and current name were/are in violation to our rules.

Our rules state that
Identity Dot #4 : Do not put any type of possibly inappropriate or offensive terms or phrases in your display name.

This rule has been in effect for well over 2+ years. This would be the reason why our administrators are asking you during those 4 times to please change your name to one that is inline with the rules of the community. Each player interprets actions not only we administrators do but other players as well. We have seen countless rewrites of the racial slur that is the N word to get around filters and attempts at our rules.

I hope this information was helpful and again thank you for voicing your concerns about our community.
